The levelized cost of electricity is one of key indicator to evaluate economic competitiveness of energy systems. This report estimated the levelized cost of SFR system considering additional safety measures identified after the 1F incident and social cost, using major calculation tools: G4-ECONS and the calculation tool developed by the Governmental WG in Japan (CEWG-tool). The calculation results of G4-ECONS showed that the additional safety measures raise 160% of levelized cost in the case of the safety enhanced SFR system with 1500 MWe of twin looped cooling system. As a result of calculation with 3% discount rate and social cost, the levelized cost of the safety enhanced SFR system with 1200 MWe of Single looped cooling system was estimated 84 mills/kWh by CEWG-tool. This result is almost equal to the estimated levelized cost of similar standard LWR system, and it was indicated the economic competitiveness of the future SFR system.

On March 11, 2011, a severe nuclear accident occurred at Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)'s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (hereinafter called as F1). After the accident, the Council for the Decommissioning was established, mainly by the government and TEPCO, and a road map for the F1 decommissioning was drawn up. In the road map, the fuel debris removal from the reactors is scheduled to launch around 2020. In this study, the characteristics and technological issues of each potential treatment scenario were extracted, and the scenarios were prioritized in advance of formal evaluations in the future. The preliminary evaluation results show that long term storage and direct disposal have more positive aspects in terms of economic efficiency and radioactive waste generation. On the other hand, stabilizing processing, aqueous processing, and pyrochemical processing have been estimated to have more disadvantages in such aspects.

Behavior of Cs in U crystallization process of advanced aqueous reprocessing system was investigated with simulated dissolver solution. Beaker-scale U crystallization experiments were carried out with some simulated dissolver solutions. The results show that possibility of generation of CsNO
,Cs
UO (NO)
or Cs-FP complex salt is small. Precipitation experiments of Cs-U(IV) complex salts were also carried out with nitrate solution of U(IV) and Cs. It was found that Cs-U(IV) complex salt was precipitated in higher acidity than 5 mol/dm
. It is suggested that Cs-Pu(IV) precipitates can be generated in the U crystallization process, under specific solution condition.

Times Cited Count：27 Percentile：86.03(Nuclear Science & Technology)Actinides recovery was attempted by the simplified solvent extraction process using TBP as an extractant for U, Pu and Np co-recovery and the SETFICS process for Am and Cm recovery with a view to decreasing the environmental impact. Uranium, Pu and Np co-recovery was conducted under the condition with high nitric acid concentration in the feed solution or scrubbing solution. High nitric acid concentration in the feed solution availed to the Np oxidation not only in the feed solution, but also at the extraction section. This oxidation reaction permitted the Np extraction with U and Pu. In the SETFICS process, a TRUEX solvent of 0.2M CMPO/1.4M TBP was employed to increase the loading of metals. In place of sodium nitrate, HAN was applied to this experimental flow sheet for "salt-free" concept. This experiment was succeeded in Am and Cm product. On high-loading flow sheet, the flow rate of aqueous effluents and spent solvent was expected to decrease in 47% and 54%, respectively.

Super-DIREX is a new reprocessing method which has high economical efficiency. Experimental study of this process was started on the direct extraction of U and Pu from irradiated MOX fuel by the supercritical carbon dioxide (SFCO) containing TBP-HNO complex. This report describes direct extraction of U and Pu with TBP-HNO3 complex at atmospheric pressure, as the first test for irradiated fuel, in order to investigate the applicability of SFCO containing TBP-HNO complex. In this test, dependency on dissolution temperature, Pu content, fuel/ TBP-HNO complex ratio and effect of voloxidation were investigated. From these results, TBP-HNO complex was found to be effective in the respect of the recovery of U and Pu. The number of the process step in dissolution and co-extraction is small, and amount of waste can be reduced. It is applicable to the direct extraction in Super-DIREX.

The behaviour of Pu and other actinides in the crystallization process and U-Pu-Np co-recovery process was discussed. Pu showed the different behaviour in the crystallization process according to its valence in the dissolver solution. Low DF of Cs in some crystallization conditions might be related with the formation of some kinds of Cs compounds with Pu in the dissolver solution. In the U-Pu-Np co-recovery process, Although there are some considerable points, e.g. temperature control in the stripping section, suitable condition for Np extraction, etc., we confirmed that it was possible to co-recover U-Pu-Np under the appropriate condition.
